Floyd Mayweather and Donald Trump
Undefeated boxing champion Floyd Mayweather has said that Donald Trump‘s infamous “grab them by the p****” comments reflect how a “real man speaks”.
Mayweather made this known in an exclusive interview with Hollywood Unlocked released earlier this week.
Trump made the comment on an Access Hollywood tape in a private conversation with host Billy Bush.
In the tape, released October 2016, a month to the presidential election, Trump brags about how his fame allowed him to interact with women. “Grab them by the p—-. You can do anything,” Trump had said.
Speaking on the comment, Mayweather said:
People don’t like the truth. He speak like a real man spoke. Real men speak like, ‘Man, she had a fat ass. You see her ass? I had to squeeze her ass. I had to grab that fat ass.’ Right? So he talking locker room talk. Locker room talk. ‘I’m the man, you know what I’m saying? You know who I am. Yeah, I grabbed her by the p—-. And?'”I feel people shy away from realness. This man didn’t do nothing. Listen, if y’all didn’t want the man in the White House, y’all should have voted the other way. It ain’t like he went and robbed—he done his homework. He did what he had to do and he got there.

In the now deleted video, Mayweather, when asked why he’s friends with Trump said:
You say ‘friends.’ You mean, ‘communicated with Donald Trump and talked with him on a couple occasions.’ A lot of times, just because, if something is going on in this world, in our country, and everybody be like, ‘Oh, fuck that, I don’t care about that. I’m not going there.’ Somebody has to go there to find out what’s going on so they can come back and relay the message to everybody else. ‘This is what’s going on.’
On the belief that Trump is racist:
“I’m not here to tell nobody who they can and they can’t be friends with. I think, within this world, racism still exists. You never heard anything about Donald Trump being racist until he ran for president and won. Before that, he was on WWE, he was on different shows, and everybody liked Donald Trump. But as soon as he ran for president…”
Speaking on whether Trump should be held to a higher standard during the presidential race, Mayweather said:
“I feel people shy away from realness. This man didn’t do nothing. Listen, if y’all didn’t want the man in the White House, y’all should have voted the other way. It ain’t like he went and robbed—he done his homework. He did what he had to do and he got there.”
On why people should stop complaining about Trump being in office
“My thing is this: it don’t matter who’s in there. If Trump is in there, Clinton, Barack Obama, it doesn’t matter. That’s not going to stop my drive. The thing is this: too many people are worried about what Trump is doing and what other presidents are doing, instead of worrying about what you’re trying to do and what level you’re trying to get to. See, my thing is I don’t give a fuck about what nobody else doing. I got to worry about what I’m trying to do and where I’m trying to get to. A lot of times, it’s, ‘Aw, man, it’s going to affect us.’ My man, if you ain’t making 400, 500, $600 million, it’s not going to affect you no fucking way. It’s only going to affect somebody like me. I’m the motherfucker that should be tripping—paying $34 million, $25 million, $26 million [in taxes]. I should be tripping! But guess what I’m saying? ‘It’s alright. It is what it is.’ One thing we all know that we got to do, one thing we know that’s going to happen for sure, we gonna pay taxes and we gonna die. But while we here, live life to the fullest. Stop worrying about what everybody else doing. How I became successful and how I got to where I got to, I don’t worry about what nobody else say.”
On Trump’s decision to end DACA as well as his other immigration policies, Mayweather said:
“A lot of times you meet people, people from other countries. You meet people from other countries that be like, ‘Oh, I love my country. I love this. I love that.’ I say, ‘If you love your country so much, why you here? You taking up space for other people. We got some other Americans that would love your job.’ But remember, this country will give somebody else from a whole other country that they don’t know shit about a loan before they even give the American citizens a loan. So I don’t know how many illegal people that we have in this country. My thing is this: I’m not saying I’m with [Trump’s decision to end DACA], I’m not saying I’m against it. I love everybody. I love people from all around the world. My thing is this: Floyd Mayweather is not worried about nobody else’s business. I don’t worry about nobody else’s business. A lot of times, we spend too much time talking about and worrying about other people’s business instead of worrying about our own. I got to where I got to—it’s easy, I make millions and millions of dollars on a daily basis—because I focus on Floyd.”
On why people should stop protesting Trump:
“At the end of the day, I don’t know why everybody keep bitching and keep picketing and holding [signs]. They walking and walking, protesting, ‘We don’t want this to happen.’ My man, all that time you spending protesting, you could be at home writing down ideas coming up with a business.”
